Have you noticed that when someone threatens your life, safety, or property or writes a comment amounting to hate speech on your atheist blog or article, they usually do so anonymously? Their name seldom links back to anything.
So, if atheists are evil liars that are destroying society and deserve to die then why are people afraid to say it using a recognizable online identity? If these people are not ashamed of their bigotry on some level, why are they staying anonymous? You'd think if they were proud of being bigots, they'd want everyone to know.
What are they afraid of? Do they think hate speech directed at atheists will harm their chances of getting a job? Are they worried about what people will think of them if they are somehow connected to their online bigotry? Are they concerned that legal consequences to their hate speech and threats will catch up to them?
What do you think?

I think they're just hiding behind the anonymity of the internet, because they know they can get away with it.
Thanks, DM, for giving us a good example of casual online bigotry with the use of a pseudonym!
Funny, DM had the same response to my post on video games. Funny, that.
I'll take tea and cake, please. Oh wait...
DM's "comment" is a ready made, cut+paste comment that he posts on every atheist blog he can find. And I don't know WHAT the hell this means: " atheists deny their own life element..."
I think they know it is illegal, and would get arrested if are out in the open.
The think DM had a little police action when he was at The Atheist Camels Blog "Hump"
He is anonymous now. lol
David Mabus I assume? aka Dennis Markuze?

Hate is a low-level response to any problem. I am not an atheist, but I really like you!
By the way, I think you are a really good writer. I would like to see you try to get your work on createspace, and develop books. You already know how to use the web to drive traffic to promote your book.
best of luck to you as always
